SSN Breaking News: Martinez in talks with Villa

Thu Jun 09, 2011 5:54 am

What this does present is a slight time predicament for our board on the mangerial appointment, because if Wigan are managerless very soon they will be sniffing around the front runners for the City job...and may well have the upper hand being the EPL club

Cardiff is a much bigger club than Wigan.

I live in Wigan out of necessity and not through choice. I'd rather be back in Cardiff.

On the social front the City of Cardiff offers so much more than Wigan - Unless, of course, you like pies or Uncle Joes Mintballs!

Villa are going to interview lots of managers just like us. I thought Mark Hughes was going to get that job but that does not seem that clear cut anymore. Rafa apparently turned them down yesterday. No suprise they are talking to Martinez, very good manager. I hope our board make their move soon because there will always be higher profile clubs than city looking for a manager.

It's just like a job in real life, I wouldn't be surprised if Hughton and Mackay are off applying for the Villa job. That's life. Neither of them will get it though.

It might be, but the potential of Wigan is much greater than us, IMO, purely because they're a Premiership club, albeit an unfashionable one, but the chance of European football and further glory is much greaterr than here. Besides, I thought most of their players lived in places like Manchester, which isn't too far away, which sort of cancels out the better social life here than there

I think Hughton will go to Fulham as Martin Jol's assistant

That is probably our biggest risk of drawing out this interview process...I would like to see Hughton with us - he has exactly the right attributes (including contacts) to take a club of our size/ set up, up to the Prem :ayatollah: :ayatollah: :ayatollah:

They would certainly look at Hughton.

I think if Martinez goes to Villa we better shift if we want Di Matteo, sounds like he'd fit in nicely up there with the 'philosophy' they've started.
